    Is it because such jokes, when written in the forums, wouldn't sound so funny? It is more likely that the two respondents haven't actually told such jokes.

    A lesson in "what is comedy" isn't what I was after. I've probably told jokes for more years than the both of you combined.

    Thanks for playing.
    Probably more so because
    1: examples of comedians who tell “offensive” jokes were given

    2: examples of “offensive” comedy media were given

    3: you’d be quick to hit report to one up them. Better to incite a ban than to discuss with people who disagree with you

    You ask for a joke specifically. I believe with malicious intent while already being provided suitable examples to the discussion

    And here we arrive at the crux of the matter. If someone has to fear telling a joke in the forums because they would be reported, why do they believe it's ok to do so in-game, where a much broader spectrum of players may encounter their attempts at humor. If the only "jokes" one can tell are decidedly offensive, why the whining about not being able to tell them in-game?

    Here's a joke for you: Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the pedestrian bridge was closed.
